My surrealist dramedy pilot, Season Four, was recently praised by a Black List reader for its “one-of-a-kind premise” and “brilliantly [combining] surrealism with grounded family dynamics to create a unique, sympathetic story about midlife transitions.”
Described as fast-paced and quippy, Stevie’s journey “distinguishes itself from other comedies […] with its fresh exploration of mental health and life crises.”
It is currently a Semi-Finalist at the Imagine This Women’s Film Festival.
